It isn’t a real $50,000, of course. It’s virtual money and you risk it in virtual trades, learning how the software works and how to use it and then making trades until (or this is the hope) you feel sufficiently secure to start trading for real. Once that happens, you’ll be covering your own losses, but you’ll also be able to draw out your profits, which, of course, isn’t possible with any virtual money you win by getting the trades right.
I found this correspondence especially fascinating because the writer is a professional online poker player—a gambler by trade.

Binary options are often considered a form of gambling rather than investment because of their negative cumulative payout (the brokers have an edge over the investor) and because they are advertised as requiring little or no knowledge of the markets. Gordon Pape, writing in Forbes.com in 2010, called binary options websites "gambling sites, pure and simple", and said "this sort of thing can quickly become addictive... no one, no matter how knowledgeable, can consistently predict what a stock or commodity will do within a short time frame".[23]
